Scotland Under-21 Squad Announced for Netherlands Game

Scot Gemmill has announced a 22-player squad for Scotland’s opening UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against the Netherlands next month.

RB Leipzig forward Oliver Burke has received his first under-21 call-up after impressing for the under-20s at the Toulon Tournament where he captained the side and scored twice as Scotland finished in third place.

Anthony Ralston, who featured for Celtic in last night’s UEFA Champions League play-off match against Astana last night, has also received his first call-up, as have his Celtic teammates Calvin Miller and Michael Johnston.

Kilmarnock are the most represented club, with Greg Taylor, Adam Frizzell, Dominic Thomas and Iain Wilson all earning places in the squad, whilst St Mirren midfielder Lewis Morgan will be hoping to make his competitive under-21 debut at his home club ground.

The Scots will take on their Dutch counterparts at the Paisley 2021 Stadium on Tuesday, 5 September, kick-off 7.30pm.

They will also face England, Ukraine, Latvia and Andorra in Group 4, with the winners automatically qualifying for the 2019 finals in Italy.

There are also play-off places for the four best runners-up from each of the nine qualification groups.

Tickets are priced at just £5 for adults and £2 for concessions with pay on the gate available.
